James Wood, of Ashwood, says the

have very bright prospects for future
developments. Tbero nre claims on

face than is found in the Oregon King
mine, for which a $500,000 offer haB been
refused. The Ashwood Gold and Silver
Mining Company's mine has assayed
$-10 in gold to the tou, 3G feet down on
an 8-foot ledge, and will average at that
depth $10 to the ton. Antelope Repub
lican. Leon Kondeau, ol Kingsley, says tho
prospects for a big crop of fall wheat on
the Tygh Kidgo were never so bright in
his experience in that country of over
twenty years. The nights are just now
quite colli and frosty, but the young
grain is so far advanced as to be beyond
the reach of injury from that quarter.
The ground is wetter than he ever saw
it. Plowing is in full blast, but it is
largely for summer fallow. The ftidge
has more full wheat this year than ever
before, and unless something altogether
out of the ordinary happens, it will har
vest the largest crop in its history.
The increasing nudienco at the Chris
tian church indicates an increasing In
terest. Last night Evangelist Harding
spoke on "What shall it profit a man if
he gain tho whole world and lose his
own soul." Men place a high valuo on
the things of this world, but not much
on the things of the world to come.
God exactly reverses this and calls a
man a fool who is wise in this world and
not ready for the world to come. There
is need for a personal attention to this
matter. Tho loss of the bouI may bo
brought about by neglect. The services
tonight commence at 8 o'clock Instead of
7:110 as heretofore. Some special sing
ing Is being arranged,
Frank Fleming, of Dead Dog, who, In

Portland. Fleming and Brown mounted
their saddle horses at the wharf in order
to drive the loose animals to the feed

than both of the saddle horses fell to

D. P. Thompson, the Portland banker,
while in Pendleton last Tuesday, gave
an interview to a reporter of the Lust
Oregonian on some of the burning issues
of Oregon politics, as well as upon some
that if not burning at present nre bound
to make considerable of ii name before
tho ides of June, H'02. Mr. Thomp
son's prominence in tlie councils of the
republican parly in Oregon for so many
yearB makes his remarks of unusual
interest.
On tlie Portland charter bill, which
as vetoed by Goyernor Goer, Mr.
Thompson said :
The new charter may not have been
exactly tho best that could have been
framed, but it was vastly better than
the one under which we are now work
ing. I am a member of the Taxpayers'
League and know that we figured that
under the proposed charter the city of
Portland could be run ut an expense of
$30,000 a year less than at present.
However, Governor Geer vetoed it, and
will have to take his chances of re-election.
I think he expects the nomina
tion again, but do not think he will gel
it. It is bard for a person after having
been a republican all his life, you might
say, to get in and fight the republican
tickej. I have been and am opposed to
the Simon ring in Portland the Simon-McKay-
McCaminant ring, and was e.
supporter of the citizens' ticket during
tlie last campaign. I was nominated
as a candidate for the state Beuate, but
declined to the committee privately and
another name was substituted for that
of mine. I did my best to help elect
the ticket. Hirvey Scott is going to
fight Joe Simon's re-election to the
United States senate.
It is generally known that shortly
after the election of T. T. Geer as gov
ernor H. M. Plummer, of Polk county,
openly accused Mr. Geer of having re
ceived from him (Plummer) the sum of
$1000 on the promise of Geer that Plum
mer should be appointed to the superin
tendence' of the penitentiary, and that
Geer, after taking the bribe, had basely
and perfidiously appointed another man.
On the assumption of Geet's innocence
The Chronicle has often wondered why
a bold, aggressive man like him should
treat a charge as grave as this with ab
solute silence. But Mr. Thompson's
interview is bo specific as to persons,
time and place that the wonder ceases
and Geer's silence now seems the only
course consistent with his guilt. It is
in vain to ask the governor to clear him
self, for he has been asked a thousand
times, and asked in vain. On this sub
ject Mr. Thompson said :
When this matter came up one day in
Portland, I expressed the belief that
Plummer had no receipt for $1000 from
Governor Geer. I was talking with
Senator Mulkey, of Polk county, at the
time, and the senator told me that
Plummer had the receipt, for he (Mul
key) had seen it. A few days after that
I "was surprised to receive a registered
letter from Mr. Plummer, which con
tained the receipt and other papers re
lating to the deal. Mr. Plummer said
I was at liberty to show It to n few of
tlie prominent republicans of Portland,
mentioning their names, and then I was
to return the letters, receipts, etc., to
him by registered letter, as he did not
wisli to let them get out of his posses
sion. I also talked with ex-Governor W. P.
Lord, who accompanied Plummer on
his visit to Governor Geer when he got
back not only the $1000 he had paid,
but $1000 in addition. 1 afterwards
talked witli Plummer and asked him
why he had been allowed to keep tlie
receipts after ho had got his money back.
Plummer iB a pretty hard man to shame,
lint he squirmed a little, and even
turned his head to one side as he an
swered that he had told the governor
that some of his papers had been de
stroyed in the Polk county court Iioufo
fire. Plummer did not state that this
receipt was among the other papers,
hut led tho governor to infer that it was.
Tho governor thought he was safe that
the receipt had been destroyed, and
wrote a letter to the Scout, published ut
Union, saying that tho signature to thu
receipt was a forgery. That put Plum
mer on his mettle, and he had to show
the receipt to prove that ho was not a
forger. Harvey Scott, among others,
has seen the receipt.

This morning. March 21st, to Mr. and
Mrs. W, II. Sharp, of Five Mile, a
daughter,
Clark A Falk are never closed Sunday,
Don't forget this.
A pleasant evening's entertainment
took place on Saturday evening, March
Kith, nt the Endersby school house on
Eight Mile. The entertainment opened
with it greeting song by tlie school. This
was followed by numerous songs, recita
tions and dialogues, which were well
rendered and listened to by an appreci
ative audience. Many of the selections
deserve special mention but space for
bids. The urogram was followed by
selling of lunches put up in neatly-
decorated boxes that contained, besides
edibles, it comic or groetefqne night-cap
which the buyer donned ns soon as the
box was delivered, and then proceeded to
find a mate among the fair sex. The
boxes eold well, the net proceeds being
$18.50, and everyone enjoyed themselves
immensely. But best of all was the
interest manifested by patronp, children,
teacher and the school board. Some-
tiling over a year ago the writer at
tended a similar affair at this plsce,
given by the same teacher, Miss Mabel
Kiddell. A nent little sum was netted.
The money was invested in books. The
Endersby people are certainly awake to
the interests of the school. Many im
provements were noticeable a new
fence surrounding tne yard, building
freshly painted, new roller shades, and
numerous other things, and now an
organ in sight. Here is success to them
in all such undertakings.
Philip Armour' Hatred of Cant.
The late Philip Armour, above all
things else bated hypocrisy and cant.
A writer in the World's Work for March
relates, in this connection, a character
istic anecdote:
On one ot his many quiet trips through
the poorer parts of Chicago, Mr. Armour
came upon a family in great destitution.
The husband had broken his leg while
at work. The wife was suffering with
rheumatism. The six children were
without food. Mr. Armour did not wait
to inquire what the antecedents of the
family were, but that same day sent
food and money to them.
Soon afterward a clergyman who knew
of the case called on Mr. Armour and
told him that he had made a mistake in
succoring the hungry ones.
"Why so," asked the merchant,
stroking his side whiskers in a medita
tive manner.
"Because," was the minister's reply,
"the woman is an irreligious sinner,
fallen from grace and society."
"You," replied Mr. Armour, "you
are a canting bigot unfit to teach the
doctrines of Jesus Christ. Get out of
this office !'j
